Arrangements are also being made to have a "live broad- cast" from the School and Clin- ic, on the Morning Magazine Program, over CKLB in Oshawa between the hours of 9:30 and 12 noon. The school and clinic in Osh- awa is held five mornings a week in Simcoe Hall and has progressed a long way from the time it opened eight years ago, when the youngsters sat on newspaper on the floor at Rotary Hall.

Chairman John W. Nicholls statea that the response has been very gratifying, particular- ly in the manner in which the members of the congregation have participated. Due to the extra special efforts . of the members, a further supply of bars had to be rushed in to meet the demand. "Ruddy" Andrews, treasurer of the blitz, also indicated that the sale of the bars was going very well. Cash returns were coming in very we.l, with over 75 per cent of the sellers report- ing that they had sold their allotment and most of the sell- ers were asking for more to sell. Mrs. Copithorne, president of the ladies guild, reported last night that this group had con- ducted a door-to-door canvass in various areas of the city and that her group had exceeded their original quota. Mr. and Mrs. D, Turner, co-presidents of the Couples Club, also reported that the demand for bars had been very brisk and that they would need more bars to fill their orders. Chairman J. Nicholls reported that he had contacted the cap- tains of most of 'the children's groups and that here again the response had been excellent. All of these groups will be making their final returns this weekend and it was reported that they would be out in full force this weekend to complete their part of the Blitz. John MacLean, who has been in charge of spe- cial sales, announced that his group would be on duty at the Power store thic weekend and that he was seeking permission from some of the other super- markets to allow them to sell bars outside their stores. "With all groups and mem- bers showing such active par- ticipation, I know that this Blitz will not only be a complete suc- cess financially, but it will pre- pare the entire congregation for the ali-out effort that will be needed if our hopes for a new church building is to be realized," sta'ed Mr. Nicholls. Council To Sod Little League Park Members of St. Gregory's Council, No. 2671, Knights of Columbus of Columbus, are expected to turn out in large numbers this Saturday morn- ing at the Little League Park, Farewell avenue, for a work project. The workers will form a giant party of more than 500 men who will sod the park prior to the arrival of winter frosts. The Council sponsors the Little League and secured the land for the park. Negotiations for the land was begun in June, 1960, by a com- mittee consisting of Val Mette, chairman and Russell Murphy. Negotiations were dompleted in October of "last year and a tract of land large enough for five baseball diamonds was leased to the Knights of Col- umbus by the city. No work was done on the site until this summer when men and earthmoving equipment re- moved thousands of yards of earth. The machines levelled the ground for the ball diamonds but left a natural slope that will aid spectator seating. More than 2,000 yards of sod are to be laid and the Little League committee feels that if) the members turn out at 9 a.m. Saturday the job can be clean- ed up in about three hours.

Lavery, BA, CA, RIA, spoke on the "Pros and Cons of Leasing." Mr. Lavery is a senior con- sultant in the Toronto office of Payne-Ross Limited, manage- ment consultants, and is attach- ed to the Royal Commission on government organization. Mr. Lavery said leasing is being talked about more and more in business circles. Some maintain it is not new but an old familiar friend dressed in different clothes, more talked about than practiced. Others aggressively promote it as a new management concept. LEASING DEFINED Leasing can be defined, Mr. Lavery said, as a situation wherein the lessee purchases the use of an asset over a defin- ite and relatively long period of time rather than ownership of the asset. A relatively long per- iod of time is a function of the estimated useful life of the asset. Increased cash flow is prob- ably the most valid argument in favor of leasing as opposed to outright purchase. The lease payments are deductible in total as an expense for income tax purposes. The cost of the asset, Mr. Lavery said, was usually written off entirely over the basic lease period, which is an accelerated rate compared to capital cost allowance rates. As a result, income taxes in the early years of a lease are sub- stansially lower than if the asset were owned, thus reduc- ing cash outgo. BOOSTS WORKING CAPITAL A significant point about leas- ing Mr. Lavery told the meet- ing, wae the fact that it results in a substantial increase in the lessee's working capital in the early years of the lease. If this working capital is not utilized, the lessee has paid a premium in dollars for the asset leased. On the other hand, if the work- ing capital is kept working and the concept of quick capital turnover, is practiced, the addi- tional orofit earned may be more than enough to offset the Cite Advantages Plan leasing, Mr. Lavery continued, is that in reality it is just an- other form of borrowing 'and therefore should be compared with other types of borrowing on the basis of cost and not on the basis of projected profits. The claim is made that the same profits can be earned re- gardless of the source of the borrowing. However, leasing eliminates the need for capital investment permitting 100 per cent financ- ing. Basically this might be termed another form debt fin- ancing, an extension of the cur- rent preference for borrowed rather than equity capital. How- ever, before the lease is nego- tiated, the company must qual ify for credit. Leasing is no easy way out for a poor credit risk, Mr. Lavery told the meet- ing. TAX ADVANTAGES In many instances tax advant- ages are cited as justification for leasing. Many of these claims originate in the United States where methods for com- puting depreciation for tax pur- poses are quite different from Canadian regulations. In the event the equipment is purchas ed at a nominal value, after the term of the lease has expired problems in the U.S. which would not be applicable in Can- ada. Leasing, Mr. Lavery said does not save a company taxes, but only postpones them. Through the postponement the company gets an interest-free loan from the Receiver General, and here- in lies the secret of why leasing can be profitable in spite of its apparent higher costs. In conclusion Mr. Lavery said, the individual corporate circumstances will determine the leasing advantages, if any, after a detailed analysis of the specific leasing proposal. In certain situations the advant- ages offered through leasing will outweigh the disadvantages while in others the reverse may hold true. Under the circum- stances, it would be foolhardy to attempt to set out any gen- eral principals on a 'Carte blanche' basis. Mr. Lavery said 'Most leasing is like free love -- usually expens- ive -- often involves legal prob- lems -- and more talked about increased dollar outlay for leas- ed assets. An oft-cited disadvantage of|tion'. than practiced. 'To Lease or not to Lease ?

Mr. Burt said it is much too early to make any statement or prediction about the final result of the current collective bargaining session. George Burt, Canadian Re- gional Director of the United Automobile Workers, Thursday night said negotiations between the UAW and General Motors of Canada have not reached the position where the union could estimate the final results of the current session of collective bargaining between union and company, Speaking at a general mem- bership meeting of Local 222, Mr. Burt said the spokesmen for both union and company have not reached any stalemate as yet and have not come to the point where the union has had to apply for conciliation. "But," he said, "it is still much too early for any state- ment about the final result." ACCUSATION ANSWERED The Canadian Regional Di- rector told a capacity audience that the union has been subject to accusations that its demands on the company for a master agreement could be inflationary. 'We are told," Mr. Burt said, "the secret of being en- titled to better wages and fringe Ratepayers Query Council Progress On Water Mains By ELSA STORRY BROUGHAM -- A delegation from East Rouge, their spokes- man Mr. Wank, inquired of Pickering Township Council what progress had been made on their proposed water mains. Reeve S, Scott advised them that tentative approval had been received from the Ontario Mu- nicipal Board, but that this Board had requested further in- formation about the financial position of the Township, and estimates for the next five years, including the auditor's estimate of the tax situation in the subsequent five-year period. The East Rouge residents were concerned by the delay caused by the OMB, and asked the Reeve why such delays had to be suffered. "May be they are protecting our interests," said Mr. Scott. "We have to supply them with information whether we wish to or not, and trust that they will go along with us." GETS ACQUITTAL SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) Barbara Burns, 22, daughter of the late comedian Bob Bums, was acquitted Thursday of a charge of possessing heroin, However, union and company have not to date, come to any stalemate. With Mr. Burt, dis- cussing UAW master agree- ment submissions are Mal- colm Smith, president of the benefits is by being more pro- ductive." "Using Dominion Bureau of Statistics figures pertaining to the automobile industry, we have found that the same num- ber were employed in the auto- mobile industry in 1959 as there were in 1947, but in 1959, produc- tion had increased by 41 per cent with approximately the same number of workers as there were 12 years prior," Mr. Burt said. NUMBERS UNCHANGED 'Pursuing further along these lines, we have come to the con- clusion that the same number of workers turned out 100,000 more cars and trucks in 1959 as they did in 1947 and the 59 model was much more compli- cated than the '47 model," the Canadian Regional Director sald. 13,000 - member Local 222; Russ McNeil, Local 222 secre- tary - treasurer and Jack Meagher, Local 222 first vice- president. ~Oshawa Times Photo Submissions Defended By Regional Director in Canada and the United States the administered price of the automobile in the U.S. is the price applied to Canadian-built automobiles." LOW VOLUME PRODUCTION "General Motors expects to make the same amount of profit per car built in Canada, with low volume production, as it does in the U.S. with high vol. ame production," Mr. Burt said. "Therefore," he continued, "we in the UAW feel our econ- omic submissions to the com- pany could easily be absorbed by General Motors without a real difference in the company's repacity to earn and without an increase by General Motors in the price of its cars -- which has already been put into force -- even before the completion of the present session of collec.

The confer- ence, being held under the aus- pices of Central Council of Neighborhood Associations will feature some of the leaders in the recreational field and is open to representatives of all neighborhood associations. When a CCNA committee started conference prerpara- tions, last May, in conjunction with representatives of the Osh- awa recreation committee and the CRA staff, it was decided that facilities would be made available for at least 100 dele- gates. However, to date only some 30 registrations have been re- ceived at CRA and Saturday is the last day open for registra- tions. NEED REGISTRATIONS R. R. Cornish, chairman of the CCNA conference commit- tee, today urged all neighbor- hood associations to get their registrations in by tomorrow (Saturday) without fail. Mr. Cornish said the commit- tee has refused out of town requests to attend the confer- ence because it was felt Osh- awa groups would fill all the vacancies. This workshop conference is Plan Recreation Workshop Here the first of its type to be held in Oshawa. It is part of a pro- gram designed to help improve NA members, not only in their roles as volunteer recreation workers, but as citizens of the community.
